This is a logotype I made for a French notarial office headed by two women (A and C).Democratica is quite unique. Its design embodies the universe of the law while keeping a not-too-strict appearance, which allows to associate it with modern illustration.

Note that the capital letter C has been slightly condensed in order to maintain pleasant proportions.

House of Love is the ninth studio album by singer-songwriter Amy Grant. It was released in 1994 as the follow-up to her quintuple-platinum 1991 release Heart in Motion. At the time, “House of Love was the biggest initial release in Christian music history, shipping almost a half million copies on its first day alone.” [Wikipedia]

The US album cover was designed by Norman Moore with art direction by Richard Frankel. It uses Treefrog (Brian Willson, 1994) for the name and lowercase letters from Otl Aicher’s Rotis SemiSerif (1988) for the title and the track list. The same typographic choices were maintained for the European release, although with a different layout and photography.

The second single from this album is also named “House of Love”. The song was recorded as a duet with country singer Vince Gill. This cover was designed by Moore, too. The font he used here is Democratica (Miles Newlyn, 1991), in loosely spaced lowercase letters, framed by a box.

Vengaboys is a Eurodance music group from the Netherlands. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, they scored a number of chart hits that made them the most commercially successful Dutch group after 2Unlimited. With lyrics like “We like, we like to party” or “Boom boom boom boom / I want you in my room”, Vengaboys are associated with the hedonistic audience of riotous beach parties.

Unexpected to most, their 1999 hit “We’re going to Ibiza” is now back at the top of the charts in Austria. Shortly after the Ibizagate scandal unfolded, the party song transmogrified into a political protest anthem, fueled by comedian Jan Böhmermann who posted a link to the music video on 17 May. The following day, up to 20,000 people chanted the 20-year old Ibiza lyrics outside the chancellor’s office in Vienna after Heinz-Christian Strache, Vice-Chancellor of Austria, former neo-Nazi and leader of the right-wing populist Freedom Party (FPÖ), resigned. Less than two weeks later, the coalition had broken up, Chancellor Kurz had lost a no-confidence vote and the office – and Vengaboys came to Vienna. Together with the weekly Thursday protesters against the government and the racist, xenophobic and anti-democratic positions of its members, they celebrateda giant party at the Ballhausplatz.

The Vengaboys logo first appeared on the cover of their debut single “To Brazil!” (1997), with artwork credited to The Fresh Connection (Thom Bouman). The multi-outlined letterforms are from a quintessential 1990s typeface, designed by Miles Newlyn and released by Emigre. It’s name? Democratica!

Lily Urban are curators of Potted Faux, pulling together the best materials they can source to create realistic fake plants with a designer edge. The rationale behind the design is to overcome the stigma of fake plants and show that fake plants can be fashionable. In the design fake plants have been reimagined as potted faux and addressed head on with a stylistic pattern made to look like fake paper cut outs reinforcing the idea of faux and representing the product. Like faux plants, the design was made to be timeless using a mix of traditional and modern typefaces paired with an evolving pattern and colour palette that can grow and change with fashion.
